Clemson head football coach Dabo Swinney is no stranger to public professions of his Christian faith, and in the wake of his second National Championship with the Clemson team, he took the opportunity to again thank God. Here's a few of Swinney's most inspirational religious quotes.

"For me, personally, joy comes from focusing on Jesus other than yourself," Swinney told ESPN on the field immediately after winning his second National Championship game with the Clemson team.

He continued: "There are so many great coaches that are so deserving of a moment like this and never get the chance to experience it. To get to do it once and now to get to do it again, it's a blessing and it's simply the grace of the good Lord to allow us to experience something like this. ... All the credit, all the glory, goes to the good Lord, number one. And number two to these young people. When you get a group of people who believe, are passionate, who love each other and sacrifice and are committed to statements of purpose, you'd better look out. Great things will happen."

"I said it two years ago and I'll say it again, this really not anything I've done," Swinney said during a news conference following the Monday night game. "It's not anything that our players have done. I think God has worked through us. Only God can do this. Hollywood movie, Steven Spielberg, whoever those producers are, they couldn't write this script. They really couldn't. Only God can do this and I give him all the glory. I know where my strength comes from and I know it's simply by his grace that I've been able to walk this walk and walk this journey."

Being asked about his faith is the easiest question he can field, Dabo Swinney said during a July news conference.

"I know I'm going to meet Him one day and He's not going to pat me on the back and tell me how many wins I had," Swinney said in the July news conference. "I think that I made a decision when I was 16. I grew up in a family that I was taught there was a God and all that, but I didn’t really have a relationship with Christ until I was 16. And that was a game changer for me. That’s really become the foundation of my life."

"We’re all going to experience death and failure and setbacks and disappointments and cancer, and it’s just a really difficult world. For me, God is always, and my relationship with Christ, he’s given me hope and peace," Swinney said in July.

Swinney said during a July news conference that his favorite Bible verse is Jeremiah 29:11, which says (King James translation): "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

“I’ve always taken that, and I’ve kind of applied that to my life along my journey," Swinney said. "Everybody sees me now and I’m the head coach at Clemson and this and that, but my life hasn’t always been this way. If there’s really hope in the future, then there’s power in the present to deal with whatever mess you’re dealing with in your life, to step through, to hang in there, to persevere, to continue to believe in something, and that’s what my relationship with Christ did for me. It gave me a hope and a belief, the ability to have a hope and a belief beyond my circumstances.”

Dabo Swinney has been featured by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, which quoted him as saying: "We serve a big God—big, powerful—and He’s real, and I know that. To experience what I’ve experienced is surreal, but it’s comforting because I know that He is. I know He loves us. We’re imperfect people, but I know God has a plan, and I just try to live my life in a way that can hopefully be an encouragement to others.”

It's not just Dabo. His wife, Kathleen, told the Greenville News in 2008, shortly after Swinney was named as head coach that "God put Dabo in this situation because he can handle it. I believe he can handle it."
